"With a depth of 5.6 millimeters, the iPhone Air rests on a fingertip in its debut clip. It was the star of the show at Apple's "awe dropping" fall event, where it emphasized the phone's "impossibly thin" yet durable design. "It does seem like it's going to fly away when you're holding it," CEO Tim Cook told The Wall Street Journal after unveiling the phone."
"Despite its lightness - it weighs 5.8 ounces - Apple execs seem confident in its durability. In a video published Thursday, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Greg Joswiak, challenged interviewers to try to bend the iPhone Air. It appeared to hold its shape. "It is more durable than any previous iPhone," John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, said during the interview."
Apple unveiled the iPhone Air with a depth of 5.6 millimeters and a titanium frame to preserve durability despite extreme thinness. The device weighs 5.8 ounces and is described by executives as more durable than any previous iPhone. Company representatives demonstrated resistance to bending in a video and interviews, referencing 2014’s bendgate when some iPhone 6 models bent under pressure. Predecessor iPhone depths ranged from the original iPhone at 11.6 millimeters to the iPhone 6 at 6.9 millimeters and the iPhone 17 at 7.9 millimeters. The Air starts at $999, is available for preorder Friday, and releases in stores September 19.
